Prayers in Honor of the Immaculate Conception - Stone - 12-08-2021 ![]() Hymn: O Gloriosa Virginum
O glorious Virgin, ever blest, Sublime above the starry sky, Who nuture from thy spotless breast To thy Creator didst supply. What we had lost through hapless Eve The Blossom sprung from thee restores, And, granting bliss to souls that grieve, Unbars the everlasting doors. O Gate, through which hath passed the King, O Hall, whence Light shone through the gloom; The ransomed nations praise and sing Life given from the Virgin womb. All honor, laud, and glory be, O Jesu, Virgin-born, to thee; All glory, as is ever meet, To Father and to Paraclete. Amen. V. This day is the Immaculate Conception of the holy Virgin Mary. R. Who with her virginal foot crushed the serpent's head. Ant. The Lord God said to the serpent: I will put enmities between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed: she shall crush thy head. Alleluia. Prayer. O God, Who by the Immaculate Conception of the Virgin didst prepare a worthy dwelling place for thy Son: we beseech Thee, that, as by the death of the same Thy Son, foreseen by Thee, Thou didst keep her free from all stain, so by her intercession thou wouldst grant to us also to come with clean hearts to Thee.

To the Virgin Immaculate
O Virgin Immaculate, Mother of God and my Mother, from thy sublime height turn upon me thine eyes of pity. Filled with confidence in thy goodness and knowing full well thy power, I beseech thee to extend to me thine assistance in the journey of life, which is so full of dangers for my soul. And in order that I may never be the slave of the devil through sin, but may ever live with my heart humble and pure, I entrust myself wholly to thee. I consecrate my heart to thee for ever, my only desire being to love thy divine Son Jesus. Mary, none of thy devout servants has ever perished; may I too be saved. Amen. - Indulgence of 500 days.

Prayer of Praise by Saint Ephrem the Syrian
O pure and immaculate and likewise blessed Virgin, who art the sinless Mother of thy Son, the mighty Lord of the universe, thou who art inviolate and altogether holy, the hope of the hopeless and sinful, we sing thy praises. We bless thee, as full of every grace, thou who didst bear the God-Man: we all bow low before thee; we invoke thee and implore thine aid. Rescue us, O holy and inviolate Virgin, from every necessity that presses upon us and from all the temptations of the devil. Be our intercessor and advocate at the hour of death and judgment; deliver us from the fire that is not extinguished and from the outer darkness; make us worthy of the glory of thy Son, O dearest and most clement Virgin Mother. Thou indeed art our only hope, most sure and sacred in God's sight, to whom be honor and glory, majesty and dominion for ever and ever world without end. Amen. ✠ ✠ ✠

Prayer in Honor of the Immaculate Conception
Dear, Blessed Lady! by many titles art thou known and loved; but as Virgin Mother of Jesus Christ Incarnate none is greater, holier, more beautifully commemorative of thy ineffable prerogatives than the one of thy Immaculate conception. It is the prayer of Thine own pure lips, and as such obtains for us special favors and graces. Thus prostrate before thee, O purest of Virgins, we offer thee our profoundest homage, and hail thee as our queen conceived without sin! Cast us not from thee, O tenderest Mother, but open to us the inexhaustible fountain of Divine graces, and be the holy refuge of our sin-burdened souls. Amen RE: Prayers in Honor of the Immaculate Conception - Stone - 12-08-2021 Hymns in Honor of the Immaculate Conception
Taken from here. ![]() Alone, of all the Children of Adam, Mary was conceived Immaculate "As the lily among thorns, so is My Love among the daughters."--Cant. ii. 2 "My perfect one is but one. . . . The daughters saw her, and declared her most blessed."--Cant. vi. 8 Hail! Mary, only sinless child Of guilty Adam's fallen race, Conceived all pure and undefiled, Through thy dear Lord's preventing grace. Thus thou wert sinless in thy birth, And sinless after as before,-- The only creature of this earth Whom sin ne'er cast its shadow o'er He would not have the blight of sin A moment rest thy soul upon, For pure without and pure within Must be the Mother of His Son. O sweetest lily! all untorn, Though nursed the thorns of earth among, To thee we sigh, to the we mourn To thee we lift our suppliant song. No haughty fiend might boast that he One moment held thee in his snare, Who of the dread Divinity Wert destined for the Temple fair. From Satan's snare preserve us free, And keep us safe from earthly stain, That in this world we pure may be, And in the next may see thee reign. Mary was conceived Immaculate!
What a Joy for the faithful Children of God! "And the Lord God said to the serpent, I will put enmities between thee and the woman, and thy seed and her Seed: she shall crush thy head."--Gen. iii. 14 O Mother, I could weep for mirth, Joy fills my heart so fast; My soul today is heaven on earth, Oh could the transport last! Chorus: I think of thee, and what thou art, Thy majesty, thy state; And I keep singing in my heart-- Immaculate! Immaculate! Conceived, conceived Immaculate! Oh what a joy for thee! Conceived, conceived Immaculate! Oh greater joy for me! Chorus: I think of thee, and what thou art, Thy majesty, thy state; And I keep singing in my heart-- Immaculate! Immaculate! When Jesus looks upon thy face, His heart with rapture glows, And in the Church, by His sweet grace, Thy blessed worhip grows. Chorus: I think of thee, and what thou art, Thy majesty, thy state; And I keep singing in my heart-- Immaculate! Immaculate! It is this thought today that lifts My happy heart to heaven, That for our sakes thy choicest gifts To thee, dear Queen, were given. Chorus: I think of thee, and what thou art, Thy majesty, thy state; And I keep singing in my heart-- Immaculate! Immaculate! The angels answer with their songs, Bright choirs in gleaming rows; And saints flock round thy feet in throngs, And heaven with bliss o'erflows. Chorus: I think of thee, and what thou art, Thy majesty, thy state; And I keep singing in my heart-- Immaculate! Immaculate! Oh, blessed be the Eternal Son Who joys to call thee Mother; And lets poor men, by sin undone, For thy sake call Him brother. Chorus: I think of thee, and what thou art, Thy majesty, thy state; And I keep singing in my heart-- Immaculate! Immaculate!
